Pros

Good stepping stone company. Reputation of yesteryear still holds weight.

Cons

Bullying and intimidation seems to be the standard across divisions. Starts from the top down due to directives that cannot be met because of limited resources, low staffing, and poor work life balance. Good luck enjoying holidays or vacation. Old boys club that tries to stay relevant but cannot keep up with the times. Young talent leaving in droves. Pay is below industry standard. Offices are depressing, dirty, and falling a part. Get it on your resume but don’t over stay your welcome.

Pros

I can’t even name you one and that’s me being honest .

Cons

The whole job itself . Probably the worst place I ever worked for . I was utterly miserable every second of the day I was there . There is no growth at the company unless you’re there for years and I mean years . The pay was a joke and my raise was less than a quarter and I’m not joking it was 18 cents . Do your self a favor and don’t come here you’ll thank yourself later. I rather be unemployed then to ever work for this company again . The job a complete joke lol

Pros

People at the bottom are pretty nice Benefits are okay

Cons

Upper management really could care less about their workers Pay is below average Everyone seems to have mentally checked out, and is there just to collect their paycheck. They really destroyed their relationships with their workers with the way WFH was treated.
